Abstract

Traumatic spinal cord lesions have a worldwide high morbidity and mortality, and in many developed countries the problem has received special attention, based on epidemiological studies. In Brazil these studies have been restricted to institutional data. In 1988 a survey conducted by the Integrated System of Traumatology and Orthopaedics, covering 36 public hospitals from 7 Brazilian capitals, revealed a point prevalence of 8.6% (108 patients) with spinal cord injury, aged from 6-56 years; 81% were men. The most frequent causes were traffic accidents (42%), firearms (27%) and falling from heights (15%). The main complications were pressure ulcers (54%) and urinary infections (32%).

摘要

创伤性脊髓损伤在全球范围内具有较高的发病率和死亡率，并且在许多发达国家，基于流行病学研究，这一问题已受到特别关注。在巴西，这些研究仅限于机构数据。1988年，创伤学与矫形外科学综合系统进行的一项调查涵盖了巴西7个首府的36家公立医院，结果显示脊髓损伤的点患病率为8.6%（108例患者），年龄在6至56岁之间；其中81%为男性。最常见的病因是交通事故（42%）、火器伤（27%）和高处坠落（15%）。主要并发症是压疮（54%）和泌尿系统感染（32%）。
